Getting Started
This section provides an introduction to the user interface, and includes the following topics:
• Starting the Application
•Understanding the Interface
• Using the Linksys Management Buttons
• Using Screen and Table Options
• Resetting the Device

Starting the Application
This section contains information for starting the Linksys User Interface.
Note By default, the IP address of the device is assigned dynamically. The IP address can be changed.
It is recommended to configure the IP address statically, if the system is in stack mode, in order to
prevent the user from disconnecting from the network in the event of master switchover.
To open the User Interface:
1. Open a web browser.
2. Enter the device’s IP address in the address bar and press Enter. An Appendix 1, "Enter Network
Password Page" opens:
